Welcome to the EM-DAT website

In 1988, the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)
launched the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT). EM-DAT was created with the
initial support of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Belgian
Government.

The main objective of the database is to serve the purposes of humanitarian
action at national and international levels. The initiative aims to rationalise
decision making for disaster preparedness, as well as provide an objective base
for vulnerability assessment and priority setting.

EM-DAT contains essential core data on the occurrence and effects of over 22,000
mass disasters in the world from 1900 to the present day. The database is
compiled from various sources, including UN agencies, non-governmental
organisations, insurance companies, research institutes and press agencies.
